Glad to see that LR are still following their practice of letting you choose your colour and only showing you what it will look like in the shade  Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.8::MG Montego Turbo::MGB GT::Rover Sterling::MGF::MG ZT 190+
Discovery Series II Td5 GS::Discovery 3 TDV6 S::Freelander 2 TD4 XS::Freelander 2 TD4 SE
Range Rover Sport TDV6 3.0

The only colour that faintly resembles an actual vehicle is Santorini.....the rest are comical

LR must be one of the poorest websites I've seen for such an expesive purchase! was in my dealer some weeks ago to consider new RRS and even he laughed and slagged it off with me

Considering a car is the second most expensive purchase most people make in their lives, it's always amazed me at how rubbish the manufacturers are at providing information. Brochures just tend to be full of arty advertising waffle with very little good info about the car, half the time you don't even get a proper picture of the whole car! The transition to online didn't help much, now you get told the car has something like "independent sequential automatic response" (or maybe just "ISAR") with absolutely no indication of what it is. And half the time even the dealers don't know the answer; when I bought the wife's mini a few years ago we had to wait 4 months for it - and during that time no-one was able to tell me if the CD player would play MP3s, despite the best effort of the dealer to find out.

Even looking through the manuals doesn't really help much as they're so generic for a wide range of markets with different specs, so you can read about a function but have no idea what you need to order to get this on your vehicle order.

Something's wrong when you have to rely on sites like this to find out information that you can't get from the manufacturers and dealers  Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.8::MG Montego Turbo::MGB GT::Rover Sterling::MGF::MG ZT 190+
